You can manage downloads and uninstall apps on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.

Files, apps, and other items you download in Internet, Gmail, Email, or in other ways, are stored on your tablets internal storage. You can use the Downloads app to view, reopen, or delete what you have downloaded.

To manage the demands on their networks or to help you avoid unexpected charges, some mobile networks place restrictions on the size of the files you can download. When you are connected to such networks, and you try to download an oversized-file, you are asked or required to delay downloading the file until the next time you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. At that time, the download resumes automatically. The Downloads app can also be used to view and manage these queued files.

Downloaded files are stored in the Download directory in your tablets internal storage. You can view and copy files from this directory when connected to a computer with a USB cable.
